Roe Kapara - Everyone’s Dying (Grandma’s Drunk Again)

[Verse 1]
A#m F
Grandma’s drunk again,
B F#
passed out in her soup.
A#m F
The rats are singing,
B F#
there’s asbestos in the roof.
A#m F
Mr. Perkins in the
B F#
front yard with his gun.
A#m F
The kids are crying
B F#
as he points it at the sun.

[Chorus]
F# G# F F#
I smell pollen where the grass still lives,
F# G# F F#
standing on the mezzanine choking on my spit.
F# G# F F#
I still wonder why they live like this,
F# G# F
it seems like everyone’s dying.

[Instrumental]
A#m F B F#
(x2)

[Verse 2]
A#m F
She killed her husband ‘cause he
B F#
loved her like a whore.
A#m F
They say the flowers grew
B F#
the day she dumped the corpse.
A#m F
She drowns herself inside her
B F#
Tylenol and pills.
A#m F
Says she could have been
B F#
an actress in a film.

[Chorus]
F# G# F F#
But I smell pollen where the grass still lives,
F# G# F# F#
standing on the mezzanine choking on my spit.
F# G# F F#
I still wonder why they live like this,
F# G# F*
It seems like everyone’s dying.

[Instrumental]
A#m F B F# (x4)

[Bridge]
C# G# F F#
This town is dying.
C# G# F F#
Why are they like this?
C# G# F F#
God keeps on lying.
C# G# F F#
They’ll try to hide it.
C# G#
They’re setting fire to the churches tonight.
F F#
The shadows dance on the wall.
C# G# F*
Waiting for the answers to their calls.

[Outro]
A#m F B F#
(x4)
